THIS REVIEW IS OF THE QUALITY OF FOOD ALONE!!! I am actually from western NY, within 50 miles of where Buffalo Wings became famous and every western New Yorker knows a good chicken wing and I have only ever found one place in the UK with good enough wings for them to remind me if home... But now I've found another!!! I've been seeing this business prepare for opening over the last few wings and when I realised it was an American Wing Restaurant I was so excited as it's right on my way home! The chicken wings were the right size, had the right crisp and succulence and the buffalo bliss sauce was reminiscent of the Anchor Bar(birthplace of buffalo wings) itself. I was given 5 wings and wedges in what I believe will be one of the menu items. It didn't come with Bleu cheese as standard (which might have been for the pre-opening event..idk) , but I didn't ask for it so I will make sure to do so next time. It did come with coleslaw, though...which I didn't really see the point of, lol! Oh yeah hey have burgers and per menu items, I'll unlikely be trying these soon as wings are now so close to home. Anyway, the opening is on the 5th of November and there is 20% off so I will most certainly be there to get some good wings again.., eventually when they are fully trained, I will update this on service too!

Came here with a group of 9 people over the weekend and was really disappointed. The place could be…read moregreat. The decor is quirky.... That's about it. The amaretto sour I ordered was way too sweet (it's my fave drink, so I have many to compare it to), the live music was way too loud to even speak with someone right next to you and my food had two long hairs in it. One mixed in the salad and another actually inside of the burger patty. Foul. Don't get excited prior to ordering the pork ribs - they look like they were brought straight over from the freezer section at Iceland across the road. The staff were pleasant, but there was just a depressing vibe about the place!

I went here a few weeks ago with my boyfriend and another couple on a Friday night. As we walked…read morein I was really impressed with the decor. There were chairs and tables carved out of wood into unusual shapes and wouldn't be out of place in a hunting lodge! They have really gone for the 'Western' theme. We all got burgers and chips and were not disappointed. I'm a vegetarian and admittedly my only choice was a vege burger off the whole menu, but I love a burger and it was delicious!! The sweet potato fries were lovely too. We all had pudding and the choice was great - we couldn't choose between them! As the evening went on, the place got really busy with loads of people coming in just for drinks. There was a live band playing rock music (what you'd expect with the theme) which was a nice touch but not my cup of tea. All in all a lovely meal, great looking place and friendly staff. Would definitely recommend. PS - They take Tastecards!!

We were looking for a home delivery this evening and "Wraps & Wings" had dropped their menu in our…read moremailbox a couple of days ago. While at first look, you may think that this is a fast food place, there were more than enough healthier options for me to choose from (non fried, no carb - protein + veggies) The menu is very simple and straight forward : beef/chicken/veg burgers. Chicken/veg wrap, wings, barbecued chicken & a selection of side dishes. The variations come in the multitude of sauces on offer. For myself I ordered the Chicken & wings platter which came with half a barbecued chicken - I chose the peri-peri sauce for this and it was wonderful. I chose the highest heat and could have easily eaten spicier, but it at least felt like I was eating spicy food. The wings I asked for in the buffalo sauce and that was good too, but I preferred the peri-peri sauce. The platter also came with 2 sides of fries and 2 choice of sauce -the chipotle mayo is very good. When they said the platter was good for 2, I did not take it at face value and ordered a seperate meal for the husband, but the portions are very large and half of the half chicken is sitting in the refrigerator for tomorrow. For the husband, I ordered the boneless chicken wings with the mango & lime marinade and a salad. The salad was lovely, the marinade was good, but I personally would have preferred a heavier helping of the marinade in the chicken. I could just get hints of flavour, unlike in my own chicken dishes which were "goooily" coated. The chicken wrap (Caribbean Jerk marinade) was a little drier than my husband liked, so he just added, some of the mayo into the wrap. I did not taste this one, because I was already quite stuffed. the honey roast vegetables were perfect. nibble sized pieces, well seasoned and beautifully roasted. The sweet potato fries were good, but I've had much better or maybe they just got a bit soggy because of the delivery. This outlet only has delivery option (no eat-ins) and delivery is free for orders over 15Pounds. all the food above + tip came up to 28 Pounds. Not a bad price for a healthy meal delivered home.

As a vegetarian, Wraps & Wings didn't seem like a good choice for me, but after being drawn in for a shake and ending up with a halloumi wrap and rosemary chips I'm completely addicted! Big portions of really well prepared good ingredients. This is place is cheerful with friendly staff and great food.

That was great because I was starving. There's a lot of seating inside, mostly upstairs. It seemed they were actively keeping the place very clean. A couple things that stood out to me... The folks bringing food to the tables weren't the friendliest. Not quite rude, but not quite friendly. The food itself was not quite the size we're used to here. I don't take anything away from them for that; it's just something to be aware of. SMS to be fair, I've had smaller portions here in the US (but almost never). Food was OK. Place was clean. People I dealt with couldn't much care if you were there or not. Smile once in a while

Really great chicken wings! We had the Gangnam and the buffalo wings with the furious fries to…read moreshare. The Gangnam wings had a really nice flavour however I found them a little sweet to have lots of them (you get 8 wings In a portion). For me, I could have had a little sourness in the sauce with the sweetness but they were still nice! The buffalo wings come with blue cheese on top but we had them without as we don't like blue cheese and they were great! Full of flavour and nice and spicy. The furious fries are cooked with buffalo sauce and come with feta and chilli. We had without the feta however we could have had them without the chillis as the fries themselves were really tasty! The restaurant was really accommodating despite our fussiness which is always good to see! The food was great and we need to go back to try the other wing flavours!

Chicken Shop has been one of those rare experiences where my low expectations were disconfirmed. I…read morehave to say that I'm always wary of popular hangouts, such as Bone Daddies, Tasty Burger and Tram Shed. The latter, for example, did in my opinion not live up to the hype that they'd generated. (Good PR, but no substance really.) Chicken Shop was another place where I'd heard so much about and so I finally had to give it a try. It was a Thursday evening and we were quite early and so ended up getting a seat right away. (20 minutes later, there had already formed a substantial queue.) It was just the two of us and we chose to be seated at the bar. In fact, this is what I'd recommend to everyone, as you can watch how the chicken get grilled, chopped up and sent off to their respective "owners". What really convinced me of this place is the chicken, which was perfectly marinated, juicy, charred to perfection...and the sides and condiments that came along with it, were complementing it nicely. I have to say, it's not cheap, as you order the chicken and the sides separately, but then again the taste is worth it. I also really liked the decor and I felt super comfortable. Somebody had really thought about how to turn a dark basement into a livable and exciting space. (It's definitely part of the hipster family, but that's alright ;-) On top of that, I thought our waitress was just too sweet and so my overall experience was very positive. I can, however, see that this might not be the perfect place to hang out with a large group. It gets really crowded and so the staff might be quite keen to get you in and out of the establishment as soon as possible. My recommendation: go to the Southampton Arms about 300 yards away. It's a very cozy pub. Tip: If you live nearby, order the chicken to take-away and enjoy it from the comfort of your sofa! Beware to not drip the juices on the fabric though ;-)

Whoever said chicken is boring never ate here. I had three types one fine evening and so glad I…read moredid. Succulent rotisserie chicken is their specialty and it's so tender it will fall off the bone. Packed with flavour. Fried chicken sandwich was not the healthiest but very tasty. Lastly I had to try the chicken wings, sweet not hot. Juicy perfection! They have all the standard sides. We had the corn on the cob, which was good but needed some butter and salt. Fries were ok but crinkle cut is my least favorite. The star is chicken and it shines! Casual ambiance, and gets crowded during the dinner rush. Takeaway is a popular option as they were flying bags out the door. Sit at the counter if you want a view of the kitchen and all the roasted goodness. A trendy, hip spot that won't break the bank for a delicious meal.

When I first saw the Yelp entry for buffalo wings within walking distance of my office, I…read moreimmediately began to obsess about when I could make the trip over. First time we went to scout out the location, it was closed because it was cold, miserable and raining (ah, the English springtime!) As soon as the weather started clearing up, I dragged my colleague (who incidentally is one of the world's biggest Nandos fans and has eaten at something like 2 dozen of its branches) back over to Brick Lane. We both had the lunch special special with the hot (I think it's 'woof woof' sauce). It is certainly hot sauce, I have a relatively high tolerance for spice but made pretty slow progress (great for clearing out the sinuses btw although between that and all the orange sauce over your face I'd recommend taking about half the kitchen roll provided). The lunch special includes 6 wings, onion rings or fries, blue cheese sauce, a few little sticks of celery and a drink. My colleague love the fries, the onion rings were standard (and by standard I mean delicious, as they are one of my favourite foodstuffs). Drink options are awesome - I had cream soda which comes in a pink can which I drank from a pink straw. I looked extremely serious and prepared for my afternoon's work arriving back in the office still drinking it. Aside from being hot, the woof woof sauce was a little sour for my tastes, I would get it again but would add some salt. I have since tried the original which is fine but not particularly exciting. I also sampled the next level up which immediately burnt a hole through my tongue down to my stomach. Colleague experienced same sensation (and he is a Nandos extra hot kind of guy). This really raises the stake on the 'roulette' option - 7 original wings plus one 'viper' - the fourth and most extreme level. Terrifying. Has to be done.

Buffalo Wings... in London?…read more Yup, you heard it right. The folks at The Orange Buffalo are cooking up some absolutely delicious wings from the heart of the Turman Brewery just off Brick Lane. Nick, the man behind the counter, hails from England but has spent time in both Upstate New York and in San Francisco. Thinking about wings and food culture in general, he couldn't have picked two better spots to learn all about the secrets of the Buffalo wing and about the importance of good ingredients. The sauces are home made and the chicken is free range, what more could one want really? This little stall is absolutely worth checking out, and even on a Friday at lunchtime there was a queue. So go, eat wings, be happy.

They offered thighs chunks and breasts. I ordered the breasts. They came out super piping hot in a few minutes and they call your number to pick up. There is nowhere to sit down and there is zero ambience. You pick up your chicken and then you go eat it in the street outside. The breast is flattened and extra crispy and was definitely good. I would prefer a table to sit out but that's not the way Chinatown rolls. No matter what time you walk past this place there's always a line. Give it a go.
